    Wave6

    Next-Gen Vibro-Acoustic & Aero-Vibro-Acoustic Simulation

    Wave6 Overview

    Wave6 provides unique Analysis Methods for efficiently and accurately simulating noise and vibration across the entire audible frequency range. These methods are integrated into a single common engine and controlled by a single license. This enables you to combine methods in the same model and efficiently analyze noise and vibration problems in ways that are simply not possible in other software packages. By integrating Wave6 into your design process you can ensure noise and vibration performance is built into your product at the design stage, which reduces the risk of discovering expensive noise and vibration problems during the physical prototyping process.

    Key Capabilities

    Key Capabilities:

    • Acoustic Wave PropagationWave6 models wave propagation in both bounded and unbounded acoustic spaces at low frequencies.
    • Efficient Surface MeshingWave6 allows surface meshing of acoustic spaces, eliminating the need to mesh the entire domain.
    • Simulating Complex Acoustic EnvironmentsUsers can simulate acoustic radiation into unbounded spaces or model structural excitation from complex, random acoustic environments.
    • Automated Model CreationWave6 offers automated tools for volume extraction, surface meshing, and incompatible junction creation, enabling the rapid generation of large, fully coupled acoustic boundary element models from existing geometry.
    • Combining BEM and SEA for Advanced ModelsBy integrating Boundary Element Method (BEM) with Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA), Wave6 allows users to build advanced models of large acoustic spaces for accurate and efficient wind noise simulation.
